-Qemu options -- After discussion with the KVM developers, they have
-recommended some flags which will improve the safety and reliability
-of KVM. Need to test that these also work under qemu (or at least, do
-no harm):
-
--no-hpet HPET support is broken and should be disabled.
-
--rtc-td-hack Keeps the rtc clock source track time correctly.
-
--drive file=...,if=[ide|virtio],cache=off
- cache=off is necessary to improve reliability in the
- event of a system crash when writing.

"Standalone/local mode"
Instead of running guestfsd (the daemon) inside qemu, there should be
Should we bother having the daemon at all and just link the guestfsd
code directly into libguestfs?

+PPC problems:
+
+ ppc (32 bit) works with qemu from git, however there is no serial console
+
+ ppc64 requires extra parameters:
+ -M mac99 -cpu ppc64
+ however it still fails:
+ invalid/unsupported opcode: 01 - 01 - 1a (06301e83) 00000000018c2738 1
+ invalid bits: 00400000 for opcode: 0b - 19 - 15 (2d746572) 0000000000009230
+
+ no serial console in ppc or ppc64 because no one can tell us what
+ console=ttyXX option to use
